twice carryed on shoare after the sayd shipps returne from Scanderoone to<br />
Ciprus, and were not brought away in the sayd shipp. And otherwise hee<br />
cannot depose.
To the 5th he saith he never was att Ciprus saving the voyage in question.
To the 6th he saith the direct way to sayle from Salina Road in Cyprus to England<br />
is to sayle in a direct Course to the Streights mouth. And he beleiveth<br />
that Zant is about 15 leagues out of the way, And farther saving his<br />
foregoeing depositions to which he referreth he cannot depose.
To the 7th hee saith that wind and weather serving the direct course from<br />
Zant to England is directly to the Streights mouth. and he beleiveth that<br />
Corsica is about 40 or 50 leagues out of the way. howbeit he saith that in<br />
those seas such winds usually happen that the Course from Zant to Corsica<br />
and so to the Streights mouth may assoone be performed as the foresayd direct<br />
Course. And otherwise hee cánnot depose.
To the 8th he saith that to sayle from Zant to the Streights mouth, Leghorne<br />

further he cannot depose.
To the 9th he saith that when 100 baggs of Cotton woolls are steeved in a ship<br />
of two hundred and eighty tonnes, there cánnot be one hundred and<br />
seventy baggs more of Cotton wools or any greater number recyved on board the sayd shipp<br />
and steeved afterwards: but the same may be receyved on board by a<br />
few att a tyme as the labour of steeving can be expedited. And saith that<br />
forty four men cannot in the space of 6. 8 or 10 dayes receyve the sayd<br />
number of baggs on board and steeve them afterwards, becáuse the<br />
bulke and number of so many baggs would make them unexpeable to worke,<br />
but the same may and ought to be recyved on board by a few att atyme as<br />
the steeving goes forwards, and further saving his precedent depositions<br />
to which he referreth he cannot depose.
To the .10th. Interrogatorie. he saith he well remembreth that Captain Hughes after<br />
he had bene advised to stay for the Convoy by the sayd Roger ffooke and<br />

the sayd shipp to serve in stead of ballast. but were putt up in sackes<br />
and he is sure that they were brought in the sayd shipp to Porto Longone<br />
in sackes. And othewise he cannot depose.
To the 12th. he saith that when Cotton wools are in steeving on board a shipp<br />
It is the usuall way first to lay a Tier of baggs, and then to steeve in<br />
as many more att the least, and for the most part more than are tiered<br />

venture in lading the woolls aforesayd: And further he cannot<br />

about 20 baggs on board att a tyme. and so from tyme to tyme to fetch<br />
and have on board so many as that the shipps Company may both be imployed<br />
constantly in steeving that noe tyme be lost, and be also free from the<br />
camber and trouble of so many baggs as might hinder them in their<br />
worke. And this Course was likewise observed by the Company of the<br />
sayd shipp the tyme and voyage in question. And otherwise<br />
saving his foregoeing depositions he saith he cannot depose.
